Sprint today announced WatchMeGo, a new watch device for kids that offers two-way communication and location tracking.
The watch offers GPS, two-way voice messaging, and can receive text messages from parents. The companion app for parents (available for both Android and iOS) lets them see their child’s location and set up geo-fenced “safety zones” so they’re notified when their child enters and exits specified areas. Location history data is saved for 14 days. Parents can be alerted when the watch is taken off.
The watch is rated IP67 for dust and water resistance, has a durable Gorilla Glass face, and has an SOS button that will instantly alert parents. It has a 400 mAh battery, LTE, and a large 1.39″ touch screen. The watch also has Bluetooth and a music player that can play music loaded over USB. The unique charger clips around the side of the watch.
WatchMeGo is available starting today for $144. Service costs $10/month with auto-pay.
